waiting season diary entry ✍️

not everyone will understand you. not everyone will value the softness, the purity, the intention, the way you carry yourself.

but that's okay-because you're not meant for just anyone.

you're rare.

and when you're rare, the person God has for you won't be common either.

he won't make you question your worth. he won't try to dim your light so he can shine. he won't be impressed by the world—he'll be drawn to your heart.

sis, stop settling for attention when God is preparing you for alignment.

you don't need to rush. you don't need to compete. you don't need to shrink.

because the right one-the one for you-will recognize the value in your rarity.

and when it's God-ordained, you won't have to force anything. you'll just fit.

not because you're trying to be like everyone else, but because you chose to stay set apart.

choose wisely. wait boldly.

you're not hard to love-you're just not for everybody.

and neither is he. 🤍💫

... Read moreThe waiting season is often a challenging yet transformative period, especially in the context of dating and relationships. It encourages self-reflection, growth, and spiritual alignment rather than rushing into companionship that doesn't honor your true value. When you recognize yourself as "rare," it shifts the perspective on partnerships—from seeking mere attention to desiring deep connection and mutual respect. Understanding that "the person God has for you will be rare" highlights the significance of patience and faith in divine timing. This concept teaches that love should not force you to dim your light or compromise who you are. Instead, it should amplify your strengths and support your individuality. During this season, it is essential to reject societal pressures to compete or conform and to resist settling for anything less than what truly complements your uniqueness. Aligning your dating life with spiritual principles helps in discerning genuine intentions and fosters healthier relationships based on respect, kindness, and shared values. Moreover, waiting boldly involves choosing wisely—investing time and emotional energy in personal growth, understanding your self-worth, and preparing your heart for a partner who recognizes and celebrates your rarity. This preparation is not passive but an active journey of becoming the best version of yourself while trusting that the right relationship will naturally fit without forcing or sacrificing authenticity. In summary, embracing the waiting season is about valuing yourself above external validation, seeking alignment over convenience, and trusting that the right person—who is equally rare and aligned with your values—will come at the right time. This mindset fosters healthier love, self-respect, and spiritual fulfillment, making the wait worthwhile.

This poem was in one of 7 diaries written by a sailor during WW2. He was gifted a diary from his “Gram” for his birthday in 1941, and wrote every day for the entirety of the war. This spicy poem is so romantic and sweet 😍 written while being stationed in Guadalcanal in 1943. #history #diary
